And that’s not even dealing with the lace-up fronts, which I guess serves to – you know, I can’t even begin to guess what the purpose of the lace-up front is.

Here’s the back. With an elastic panel. Naturally. Because when you’re wearing high-waist shorts, you’re going to want everyone to see the massive elastic panel on your back. It so delightfully compliments the mom-jeans flat butt that a high rise will inevitably give you.
